Jams of the Week 9/17/17

Howdy and welcome to jams of the week!

This week I spent a lot of time listening to "Rake It Up" on repeat for that Nicki verse, but I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the song so I'm skipping that as a jam of the week. Instead here are three tracks I'm also obsessed with.

One of my favorite movies is Stranger Than Fiction and I listened to "Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric for months after seeing it. Today I turned on the radio and it was playing! Only it wasn't Wreckless Eric, it was Cage the Elephant! It's a great cover and I'm jazzed for more people to hear the song.

I love Tegan & Sara and this popped up on my Spotify and became an instant earworm.

Skele-Gro Bottles

Recently another HP fan in my area posted that Michaels had these bottles in their stores and captioned "wouldn't these be great for Skele-Gro bottles?"

UM YES

YES THEY WOULD.

Sooooo that led to a Michaels trip for a few goodies. They have all their Halloween stuff on sale...even though it's August...heck they even have their Christmas stuff on sale!! One bottle is $9.99, plus the store sale of like...30%? and then I had a coupon for 20% off the total purchase so this project is CHEAP!

I headed over to the HP Paper Crafts section of the RPF with some help for a label and they had one ready to print! Shout-out to the people who are skilled at font replicating over there. I scaled the pdf to fit the bottle and cut to to about the shape I thought I wanted. I bought a couple of the skeleton bottles so I may try to make the fit different but I don't totally dislike how this one turned out. 

Once I had the fit I grabbed some coffee and did a quick stain on the paper. The color actually turned out to be a pretty good match! 

Once it was dyed I mod-podged it in place and ta-da it's done!

Is it perfect? No. Does it make me happy? Yes! So there...

Ain't nobody got time to sculpt a real one of these from scratch. 

So if you want just a little more HP in your house, run to Michaels now!

ALSO Happy September 1st nerds, I'll meet you at Platform 9 3/4!

til next time,
